David Phelps is arguably the best male singer out there right now.
Guy Sebastian? Johnny manuel? Dimash?
Yeppers
No arguments
Thank you. !!! My favorite male singer of all time !!! More please
David Phelps has classical training and was encouraged by his professors to do opera, but he and his family have a strong Christian faith, so opted out. He still does operatic selections (Nessum Dorma and on his latest release/album 'Una Furtiva Lagrima') Besides being a trained and experienced singer who can beautifully handle many styles/genre, he knows music theory and writes songs and arrangements, has his own studio, performance venue! He has been performing since high school and is now in his 50s and still 'going strong' because he know the importance of taking care of his 'vocal instrument'! He has also collaborated with 'New York Vocal Coaching' for an 8 part series on different vocal techniques/dynamics. Many thanks to the patron who requested this!!
David Phelps is my absolute favorite male singer on the planet! He has been doing this a very long time. Check out his Nessun Dorma (in the black suit) Stunning!!
These Are They by the Gaither band and David Phelps. Magic!!! Ditto to O Holy Night and No More Night!
Great break down and reaction! So glad you found David, he's one of the greatest male vocalists of all time... just incredible. I hope you react to more of his. He's got tons of jaw dropping performances on youtube. No More Night, The Dream, O Holy Night.
His Oh Holy Night is exceptional. Maybe a Christmas song you could cover around the holidays!
One of my favorite voices
Hi Jess !
Nice first contact with probably one of the (if not THE one) very best voices of our time. Great power, great control, impressive range (with nice register transitions) and an very good storytelling, that keeps our breath suspended from beginning to end.
Now that you've met Mr Phelps, i can only recommend you to check these songs of him :
The Dream, No More Night, Nessun Dorma, Just A I Am, We Shall Behold Him, Your Time Will Come, O Holy Night, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Agnus Dei, Water, Let Freedom Ring, He's Alive, End Of The Beginning, I Wanna Know What Love Is, Heaven's Shore, Sanctus, Ave Maria, O Mio Babbino Caro, etc...
There are tons of videos on his youtube channel, and everything is from very good to purely insane.
Br.
I'm glad you included 'O Mio Babbino Caro', from 'Classic'! (the soprano aria that Bill Gaither insisted David sing)
Such a wonderful analysis. You simply point out things that others are not even aware of. Bravo Soprano Notes!
Thank you!
Very nice analysis of David Phelps, one of the greatest voices I have ever heard. He can sing any genre of music from operative country and it's fabulous. Hope to see more of David from you😊
you should check out his version of o holy night
1st time seeing your channel. David singing O Holy Night from like 20 years ago on a Gaither video will put you in another mindset. Give him a look and simply hold on. ❤❤
What a great performance from David Phelps, and a great analysis by Jess (as always). I need to watch again! Just WOW! 🥰😍🤩
David, on his 'Classic' album ('12) performs masterfully 'O Mio Babbino Caro'. Yes, a soprano aria!
Jess, thank you for this gift. Mr. Phelps is AMAZING! As several have mentioned, his Oh Holy Night is one of the most astounding versions ever. Another great Whitney cover is Shoshana Bean's I Wanna Dance With Somebody which she varies by making it a bluesy jazz ballad that fits the song perfectly. Thank you for this great reaction!
David also sings tenor with the outstanding Southern Gospel group, The Gaither Vocal Band. While he's no longer a regular member of the groups, he was for many years and still joins them for GVB reunions. If you want a real treat both technically and emotionally, check their performance of "Let Freedom Ring" at Carnegie Hall in support of the 9/11 responders. It was written with David's voice in mind and the GVB never does it unless David is there to take the tenor part.
This song has great “bones” and I love the variations. Mr. Phelps is a phenomenal tenor. I also loved the cello and felt the piano did not compete with Mr. Phelps. Thank you for another excellent music theory lesson. I love your reviews.
Really appreciate seeing you react to David's voice as well as your comments. I can see your reaction before you verbalize it.
Try David Phelps' No More Night!
Nessum Dorma or Ava Maria. He does an exceptional job on both. You should listen to songs from his Freedom concert. Fire!!
extraordinary analysis and attention to detail 👏👏👏
Glad you liked it!
IMO David is just phabulous!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Definitely check out his version of Oh Holy night! Arguably the best vocal performance of all time!
I really enjoyed your reaction & expertise!
I'm so glad!
A LITTLE RESPECT GOES A LONG WAY WHEN COMPLIMENTING MY BEAUTIFUL YOUNG FRIENDS MUSIC AND REACTIONS COWBOYS ❤
I have seen David 11 times live from the front row, been to his home twice for Barn Bash events and have met him and his family several times...I can tell you from experience that he is the best male vocalist on the planet and has been for the past 25 years or more and it's not even close. It's so unusual that he has actually gotten better with age...
Whitney considered David Helps as her favorite tenor if I’m not mistaken. His older videos show his gobsmacked gospel style. This more recent video is a sample of a more contemporary style and his original songs on his newer recordings have a thoughtful, weight of life’s journeys. Enjoy his craft whether gospel or contemplative contemporary.
He was 52 here.
Well, I might be speaking the unforgivable for many right now...
This is the first time I've heard DP sing this. I was hesitant to listen not because "no way could be compare to Whitney" but because I don't really like it. I know it's a difficult song. I know WH sang it well. Really well. But, well, chalk it up to personal taste. To be clear, I like other WH songs; not putting her down at all.
But here I am listening to DP sing a song I don't particularly like. Am I magically a fan of the song now? No. I still recognize it as a very challenging song (it's definitely not a song one should sing without significant training). But I like David Phelps's version better. Perhaps it had something to do with the overall depth and warmth of the sound (including the cello) as opposed to the brighter, sharper (tone not pitch), shriller sound that David Foster's arrangement and production gave us for the WH version.
It's not a matter of which version is better, at least for this cover (that's not always the case). Usually I prefer the version my ears are more famiar with when it comes to covers. This time, though, I prefer the one that's new to my ears.
Thank you. I really enjoyed the analysis and the side by side comparison, slight though they were, of the melodies.
Watch him sing "water" with daughter Maggie Beth Phelps. The apple don't fall far from the tree
Great reaction and analysis.
Please react to Faouzia Fur Elise live performance 🙏🏻
I would *love* to hear your reaction to something by the 70's British Progressive Rock band Renaissance. Lead singer Annie Haslam had some opera training. For a purely musical reaction, go with "Prologue". Other great songs include "Mother Russia", "Can You Understand" and my personal favorite, "The Song of Scheherazade". (Fair warning - Scheherazade is almost 30 minutes long.)
Would like to see you react to either "Money game part 3" or "The tale of Jenny and screech (Full, complete version) by Ren
Please react to Placido Domingo and Dimash Pearl Fishers Duet just released in December 2023!
